Default Rear Air Conditioner Control

Per the Lexus manual on the rear A/C:

"The temperature of the cooled air can be adjusted between 10F (5C) of the temperature of the front air conditioning system. Push the left side of the button to lower the temperature."

Can anyone confirm that the rear a/c can be adjusted warmer or colder than what the front a/c is set at. It's really not warm enough here to thoroughly test this here in VA. You guys out West must have your A/C units blasting.

Thanks.

No testers out there with rear passengers (to play with the temp controls on a hot day)?

Ha, sorry the closest I have been to the back seat is with a vacuum. Never noticed any of my passengers ever turning it on. Front seems to keep truck cool enough I guess.

You can definitely adjust the rear vents. There's no real heat setting, but the AC temp can be fluctuated. I usually leave mine in unity and it does a great job of dropping the interior heat in the summer. Move it to the cold position and my passengerd complain of frost bite.

Thanks for the feedback. Since I don't normally have back seat passengers, it's hard to say "how well" the rear A/C is working. You can definitely feel the front A/C worling on a hot day.
